Bankfull Flow

 
Bank Full Flow
 
Parameter Description:  Bank full flow, calculated per channel segment in cubic meters per second (CMS).
 
Data Type: Line (stream layer)
 
Field NaME; BFQ; Common Name: Bankfull flow (CMS);
 
Units: m3/s
 
NetMap Module/Tool: Fluvial Processes/Flow Calculations
 
Model Description:
Bankfull flow is calculated by multiplying flow velocity (calculated at bankfull flow hydrualic geometry [e.g., channel width and depth] by channel width multiplied by depth. See NetMap tools for 1) Bankfull width, 2) Bankfull depth and 3) Flow Velocity.
